Torrence Avenue is a major north–south street in the South Side of Chicago, as well as its southern suburbs.

Torrence Avenue continues north, intersecting Interstate 80 (I-80) and I-94 (Kingery Expressway) in Lansing.

The road carries Illinois Route 83 (IL 83) from Glenwood Dyer Road in Lynwood to Sibley Boulevard in Calumet City, as well as carrying US 6 from the Kingery Expressway to 159th Street.

It continues in the north-northeast direction for just under a mile until ending at Steger Road (the Will–Cook county line).

Pace bus routes 353 and 364 briefly run along Torrence Avenue to wrap around a shopping mall west of the River Oaks Center.
